Arrest warrant sought for a business woman over car blast

On August 23, two bombs exploded inside of a Toyota pickup truck belonging to influential businesswoman Somjit Thiparphorn, that killed Thanakorn Neelmont who drove the vehicle to an area near the Provincial Governor Residence.

Police suspect Thanakorn might have been trying to plant three explosives to take another person's life when two of the bombs accidentally exploded.

Nakhon Ratchasima deputycommander Pol Colonel Pongdech Phrommijit, yesterday said the police had gathered sufficient evidence and had requested Nakhon Ratchasima Court to issue an arrest warrant for Somjit on charges of illegally possessing explosives and a gun.

Pongdech were now certain that Sonjit was involved in the case and would arrest her as soon as the court approves the warrant.
